Is there any exercises or weight lifting I can do to target my fat pad specifically? I've been told by a guy who lifts weight that the only way to reduce your fat pad is by losing weight all over, and it will eventually reduce your fat pad too.

But there HAS TO BE some way to target it, I think. Does anyone know of any way?

And do they have surgery for this type of thing?
 
As far as I know regarding fat loss, you cannot just target one place (i.e ass, stomach, thighs, fat pad). It's also one of the last places you lost fat so you need to get into a good cardio/workout regime.
 
for the surgery aspect probably lipo suction lol but thats going to the very extreme to uncover an inch of dick ur better off exercising. i got bout half an inch of dick hidden.. i started my workout routine yesterday.


I drink ONLY water. I eat mostly chicken and fish. ive thrown out red meat completely. Lots of fruit and vegetables and I run for 30 minutes per day.. well ive done that yesterday and today but hopefully i can keep this up til july 1st and lose 15-20 lbs.
 
I'm no expert, but I'll give this a try.

Generally speaking you can't target fat loss, like everyone is saying. Fat loss is from calories in and calories out, not muscle building in the area though muscle can help your whole body burn fat. However, there are actually sprays now that do in fact help to target fat loss. I'm not exactly sure how or to what extent right now, but competing body bulders report that they work. They will burn a hole in your pocket, especially if you think that's all you need. I don't plan on ever using these sprays - but I suppose I may try for fun sometime.

However, if you have a serious fat pad, chances are you have probably 25+% body fat in my guesstimate. You really should try to eat right and exercise and get your BF down to sub 20% and more toward 15%. If you want to get ripped then get down towards 10%. The formula is calorie deficit - clean calories in equal to or less than clean calories out, to my knowledge.

This is a general formula for how many calories to eat:
Weight loss: weight x 10 (e.g. you weigh 200 lbs, you eat 2000 calories)
Weight maintain: weight x 12.5
Gain: weight x 15

A healthy balance is 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I think I'm going to switch the protein and carb ratio and probably cut fat down towards 15%. Eat complex carbs, eat polyunsaturated and monosaturated fats. Monosaturated is the best fat. You can get essential polyunsaturated fats from Omega Oils 3,6,9 - 3 being the most popular and I suppose most essential - not sure. Eat most of your carbs and calories earlier in the day so you don't store as much as fat due to inactivity.

Hope that helps.
 
Hi,

I never write on these boards because, by and large, people here are more expert than I am.

In any event. Regarding this topic I am an expert (even if I say so myself). I am a professional athlete and a coach.

Anyway. What you need to do is this:

First step: Get your diet in order. Fresh meat, fish, vegtables and fruit. Try not to eat pasta, bread, patatoes, or rice. If you have to, at least make sure it is "brown". Drink tonnes of water - the more you drink, the less you retain. And start training. Run, cycle, walk, skip, do push ups, pull ups (if you can), squats, jumping jacks etc. The key to good training is intensity so always work your ass off and if your not sweating hard your not expercising hard.
Goal: Have a good diet 9 - 9 Mon to Fri. Run (actually RUN) a mile.

Second Step: Start lifting weights. Either in a gym or at home. Follow the simple stuff. Bench press, curls, choulder press, good morning, deadlift, squat, bent over row, pull-ups. And start to do sets of 20 yard sprints rather than long jogs. Clean up your diet even more. Eat 5 - 6 meals a day, graze on fruit. A lot of fruit is 20 peices a day, 10 is good, 5 is the minimum.
Goal: Bench press 75% of your body weight once. Sprint 100 yards jog 100 yards sprint 100 yards without rest and feel great x 5. Deadlift your own weight. Have a good diet 9 - 9 Mon to Fri plus 6 pints of water a day.

Third step: Engage in more sports. You should know enough about training by now. More variety in everything you do. Ask a coach to show you Olympic lifts. Start with the "power clean and push press". Then the "Clean and press" then the "over head squat" then the "snatch". Set O-lifts with pull-ups / rope climb etc.
Goal: at least 1 set of 10 pull ups. Snatch 75% body weight. Sprint 100 yards jog 100 yards sprint 100 yards without rest and feel great x 10.
Have a good diet 9 - 9 Mon to Fri plus 6 pints of water a day.

Forth step: (by now you should know enough about training to not need advice) hopefully by now you will only need the following advice -
Diet Goal: Paleo
Training Goal: Cross Fit

I hope that helps.
